Oakmont Linear Park Trail is part of the Trinity Trails, which has over 70 miles of hiking and cycling trails along the Trinity River in Fort Worth. Oakmont is the southern most part of the trail. The highlight of the trail is the waterfall located about 3 miles from the trailhead!

Know Before You Go
There is a port-a-potty at the trailhead at Pecan Valley Park, and a water fountain, too.
The Trail
The trail is wide in most places, with some gentle slopes along the way, and for most cyclist it’s an easy ride.
Much of the trail is heavily shaded, but some places are sunny, so don’t forget your sunscreen.
I love the beautiful Indian Blankets that lined one side of the trail during our June ride. Fantastic! 
Wildlife
Keep your eyes open for the abundant wildlife along the trail! We spotted several lizards, squirrels, bunnies and even a tarantula. I love that there are bat houses along the trail, too!
Oakmont Park
There is a connecting trail to Oakmont Park. At Oakmont Park you will find a playground, picnic tables and a port-a-potty at the parking lot.
Oakmont Park is a good place to park for a shorter walk/ride to the waterfall on the Trinity River.
Oakmont Park is located at 7000 Bellaire Dr. Fort Worth.

The Falls
While the Clear Fork of the Trinity River almost always has water, it seldom has THIS much water! The recent flooding and water being released from Benbrook Lake has created a beautiful, rushing river!

It’s a great photo-op, but it won’t last long! ![10665940_951158524904347_5620949066541526142_n[1]](https://havingfuninthetexassun.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/10665940_951158524904347_5620949066541526142_n1.jpg?resize=660%2C371)
The water is running VERY fast! It’s not a place to swim or even try to wade! Be careful!

During our visit, we met Pat, who was paddling the river in his kayak. He put in just below the Benbrook Dam, and we watched as he portaged around the waterfall to continue his trip!
